IMPROVEMENT IN POLISH FOR STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,321, dated July 29,1873; application filed September 2, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELI CHAMNESS, of Greensburg, in the county ofDecatur and in the State of Indiana, and JOHN VAUGHN, of

Chesterfield, in the county of Madison and in the State of Indiana, haveinvented a new and Improved Polish for Blacking and Polishing Stoves andother articles made of iron, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of our invention is such that it will make stoves and otherarticles made of iron smoother and brighter when it is applied to them.1

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our inventionapplies to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and. operation and preparation.

We take, first, four (4) pounds of plumbago; to this We add one (1)pound of soap, and one (1) ounce of glycerine. We thoroughly mix thesearticles, adding sufficient water to make it thin enough to apply to thearticle to be polished with a brush.

The article must be nearly dry before it is touched; then a fewapplications of a broom or brush gives a beautiful polish.

We have also used larger and smaller amounts of soap and glycerine withthe above amount of plumbago, and find that it gives a good polish, butnot as good as the above preparation and proportion.

What we claim as new and our invention, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is-

The combination of plumbago, soap, and glycerine, used substantially asand for the purposes set forth.
